My connection with seafood

Playing such a huge part in the creation of our menus, we love utilising fresh, local seafood. With such a large variety of fish available to us, we have an incredible scope to experiment, test and utilise many breeds of fish, giving us a plethora of unique flavours and textures, further inspiring us to craft new dishes. We love having the option to offer clients a more cost effective and greener alternative to meat, while still maintaining an immense standard of quality.

Why sustainability is important to me

We feel that sustainability should be important to everyone! At Seasoned, we host thousands of guests a year and witness first-hand the amount of resources needed to create a successful event. This plays a huge part in us ensuring all food is sustainable, in particular to safeguard fish stocks; we thoroughly enjoy trying different types of fish in our menus, and this variety allows us to help quell the depletion of popular fish. We demonstrate to our clients that it is easy to be sustainable in the hope they begin to follow suit.
